The holidays are upon us, and for many people, Christmas is their favorite. Beautiful lights strung along houses and trees, spending time with loved ones, the crisp winter air, and the smell of fresh baked cookies. There are so many wonderful memories and experiences that come from the holiday season.
With all of the joy and happiness of the holiday season, this can also be a difficult time for many people — especially those that have lost a loved one.
Country artist Scotty McCreery decided to write a Christmas song that would be of comfort to those that have lost someone close to them. It’s called “Christmas in Heaven,” and it’s a beautiful melody that can help lift the spirits of those that are feeling blue during the holidays.
The lyrics are touching, and poignantly relatable. Scotty beautifully captures the emotions that come along with the holidays when you’re missing someone because they are no longer with us. However, the love for that person will never stop or cease to exist.
Scotty’s deep and warm voice is the perfect instrument for the touching lyrics. He sings the beautiful song with grace and empathy.
In the performance below, he sings these emotional lyrics:
December hasn’t changed
This town looks the same
They still light that tree in the city square
There’s red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonderIs the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels “Silent Night”
I wonder what Christmas in heaven is likeThere’s a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must have walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
‘Cause I know you are there
And I wonderAre you kneeling with shepherds before him now
Can you reach out and touch his face
Are you part of that glorious Holy night
I wonder what Christmas in Heaven is likeIs the snow falling down on the streets of gold?
Are the mansions all covered in white?
Are you singing with angels “Silent Night”
I wonder what Christmas in Heaven is like
Christmas is a time when we should think about others and put their needs first. Scotty’s beautiful ballad is the perfect reminder of that, reflecting back on the memories we had with our loved ones, and hoping that wherever their souls are, that their Christmas is magical.
